"Our weekly Free Games Program will continue in 2023," the company wrote.each week—Kerbal Space Program was a highlight in early January—so we kind of already knew this, but it's nice to get confirmation that the gravy train will chug along through at least the end of this year.
Epic also noted that 70 of the participating games broke their concurrent player records, which is not too surprising: Give people free games and they will play the free games.
Niiiiice!!!
LOL IS THAT A HEAD CRAB IN THAT PICTURE WHILE TALKING ABOUT EPIC GAMES?!
I am never using the EGS.
At this point, EGS has mostly been relegated as being the KH3 and Chivalry 2 launcher for me. I know no one likes the bribes, but I wanna think that their underhanded tactics could've better been used on devs that have given up on PC gaming.
Free games from Epic are part of my real life weekly quest log. It's the only time I log into the service.
Is there even 50 million games ever created?! Lmao 🤣 I understand what they are saying but c’mon
PC Gamer mustve got a fat paycheck to have this many consistent reposts involving EGS lmao
Free shit games ngl
Why are you shilling for the worst service that exists? Because you were paid to. The Epic store is straight ass just like the CEO. No one wants to use this service.
Huzzah!!! As an avid PC gamer since 1997, I somehow never tried Fallout 1 & 2 until their free offer and my life is much better for it!🍺
Good for people who can’t afford games
it doesnt matter if they give away free games, their software is horrible and their service is terrible.
It would be amazing if they improved their platform to be more community driven like Steam. So stuff like this would have a longer lasting effect on the Epic Games platform. Still great news though!
Still not getting their shitty storefront, I'm never supporting digital exclusives that are from 3rd party devs. If it was only epic's games that would be one thing but it's not.
Epic is an amazing company to give away all the free games yes most aren't what I like but I did get a few games I like. Thank you epic games studio now please bring back unreal tournament the gaming world needs a new unreal tournament game
How do they even find a way to come up with such a false number 😂
cool i choose steam
i like good epic games
I think it's a massive indictment of the EGS that I still struggle to find the motivation to actually redeem half of the free games on it.
Oh my gosh 😍 this is literally so cute 😲 I adore this picture 🥰
Did Epic resolve the Death Stranding issue in the end?
i have been getting every free game from start but only played something like 5 of them, (328 games)
How much they paying you? Seriously you guys have taken off the pink bonnets and fishnet stockings… you’re true colors are “Epic has bought us for two tacos and some Subway coupons”
Epic games store is ass
Tell Tim Sweeney to keep his free shit, I was given SW Fallen Order by Amazon once, it was for the EGS I said nah, months later I decided to play the game and bought it on Steam...
I get the free games digitally and only buy physical games so that is good for me. I dont pay for digital
I thought the Tomb Raider games were gonna be great, I mean I loved the originals, these new ones had great reviews, AND I'd be getting them for free. Installed the first game, gameplay controls were horrible! Uninstalled. Well at least no money lost on them.
Talk about having the crabs?
PC gamer becoming an epic shill now? Not surprised in the slightest, but again, TimSweeneyEpic will never SHARE those sale numbers for specific games from the epic store, but we know that they have never turned a profit once on the store since its been in operation.
How many are actually played?
Games that no one will play on EGS.
I mean, thank you for the Games Epic, I grab them when I can. But I still don't play them there. I don't know what's wrong with me, but sometimes after I grab a free Game I still buy it afterwards on Steam and play it there.
$700million *
I would rather developers put their games on all available stores instead of taking 1 year exclusivity bribes
If they're giving you the games for free, you are the product. Epic is buying a platform. And the core foundation of a platform isn't software or servers. It's people. Like an empty club with no patrons, it's only a party when it's full of people.
This cant be sustainable
Is that Half-life 4
respect to those who try to be charmed by free games. shit launcher is a shit launcher
No thank you
Nobody would be using their platform for anything else besides fortnite otherwise so yeah they better keep it going
And nobody will use their platform for anything else than free games and fortnite
no no no to epic shit store 👎👎👎
You did not just make a free real estate joke
Dont forget: Steam never does this, ever. So continue crying about what you think are 'epic exclusives' and throwing fits.
I think I've bought 1 game on EGS. There's like 40+ games in my library. Are they even making money from anything but fortnite?
No thanks
Thank you!!! EpicGames 🕹️🎮💻
[Whispering] EGS is a shit platform.
I claimed most of them. I don't think I've played any of them.
But where they free? You're paying with your data.
But really, what is the value of a game you were never going to buy in the first place anyway? 🤔
Thanks EpicGames
I would like to thank the Fortnite kids for funding all these free games I've been receiving! lol
Why even buy anything on this store if you are going to get it for free anyway?
Hopefully with Better titles , sure there were a few but not really impressed so far
Shut down EPIC
In retrospect, I wonder if that was worth it?
And yet, Steam Epic
Epic trying to make the EGS a thing…
Is that a head crab in the thumbnail for an article about epic?
Babiboule_FR et toujours pas 1€ dépensé
Define free. They most certainly had to buy out publishers in order for them to do this.
204 epic games 90% of that free to my steam account of 783 games
Dam missed out of death stranding but weekly grab all games and managed to get gta free during covid 👏
My Epic library is now really close to my Steam one and they're all free and I've played several of them. Because they tend to be a bit older or less resource hungry it has allowed me to use older hardware for far longer.
Add them to epic and then pirate them so you don't have to use epic launcher 👍
About the only reason I log into Epic Store is for the free gift, haven't even loaded them up
Star Wars Squadrons is amazing in PSVR!
And i’ll keep claiming them and never launching them 🫡
